“Being an athlete, it’s extremely important to cope with what goes inside one’s head both on and off the field. After Nanaki introduced me to the ABCDE model, I actually felt more calm and content on the course. I could exercise full control over my thoughts and how I felt before, during, and after the round. I feel the model was simple to understand and apply and didn’t demand much. The best part was there was no particular routine required on a daily basis, rather it was fighting my own thoughts in the best and relevant way that was suitable to me. For the longest time I had self doubts and anxiety on the course but after the sessions with Nanaki and questioning my thought process, and converting my irrational thoughts to rational thoughts using the model, I could clearly feel and see the difference both on and off the course. It helped me improve not only my mental state on the field, but had a great impact on my game too. I personally felt that this was one of the easiest methods for me to understand and perform. The best part was that I could actually frame positive affirmation statements on the spot to deal with my anxiety and comfort myself. Personally, this has really made a huge difference to my game and has also helped create a balance in the way in which my mind works on the course.”
